Two-dimensional triangulated surface models for membranes and their three-dimensional (3D) extensions are proposed and studied to understand the strain-induced crystallization (SIC) of rubbers. It is well known that SIC is an origin of stress relaxation, which appears as a plateau in the intermediate strain region of stress–strain curves. However, this SIC is very hard to implement in models because SIC is directly connected to a solid state, which is mechanically very different from the amorphous state. In this paper, we show that the crystalline state can be quite simply implemented in the Gaussian elastic bond model, which is a straightforward extension of the Gaussian chain model for polymers, by replacing bonds with rigid bodies or eliminating bonds. We find that the results of Monte Carlo simulations for stress–strain curves are in good agreement with the reported experimental data of large strains of up to 1200%. This approach allows us to intuitively understand the stress relaxation caused by SIC.
